Let cold water from the faucet run over it. Then, if you
have any kind of burn or pain cream or spray, apply it to
the affected area.

I hope that your pain will go away quickly.

Emu oil. Seriously...

If you don't have any, try a little Olive oil.

I have an aloe vera plant just in case I get minor burns in
the kitchen. If I get a burn, I cut a tip off of the aloe
vera, cut it open, and scrape the gel onto the burn. I find
that the gel soothes the burn immediately, and the burn
seems to heal faster, too.

Of course, this wouldn't be good for anyone that's
allergic/sensitive to aloe vera.

Cold water for at least 20 minutes after the burn occurs
then 10 minutes on / off until the pain subsides, apply an
antibiotic cream (such as Neosporin or Polysporin), if the
skin is broken apply a gauze dressing lightly to keep it
clean otherwise it does not need to be dressed. Do not break
any blisters that form, take an OTC painkiller (ASA,
ibubrofen, acetaminophen) for the pin.

Aloe. Simplest and best is a leaf broken or cut off an aloe
plant. The thick juice within is a natural anesthetic. Just
spread it on.

Soaking your finger in cold water, and time.

For minor household burns it helps to keep small packs of
blue ice in the freezer. (It's less messy than melting ice
so you can sit on the couch with it and not worry about
dripping water).

Sue(tm) Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself!

Thanks everyone for the advice, I took some pain killer
and have my hand sitting in a metal cup of freezing water
which i change when it starts to warm. Its still pretty
sore but no redness or blisters seem to be appearing. The
skin is just white. I am forever burning my self in the
kitchen tbh, but although this is a tiny burn it is by far
the most painful.

Think I'll be sticking to salads over the summer :o)

I've been told that you have to be very careful in removing
any clothing. I saw a young child bump into his mom at a
Salt Lake City coffee place and get the large cup of
straight out of the pot hot coffee down his back. Within
seconds pitchers of ice water were dumped on the area and a
ice water wet towel full of ice was applied over his shirt.
Did your patrons say anything about clothing?

The purpose is to stop the layers of skin from essentially
cooking. That's what heat does to them, and the blistering
is the bodies way of trying to protect the undamaged layers
below the cooked/burnt layers.

If you catch it quickly enough you can in fact eliminate a
high percentage of the effects of a burn.

This type of training should be mandatory at all the cooking
schools. But it isn't yet.

For too many years we've paid scant attention to fire
safety. Now that we've had some very gruesome events (The
Station fire in West Warwick, RI is one of them.) things are
starting to change.

But at the same time, the business community is [censored] and
moaning about who's going to pay for their sprinkler
systems. It gets on my nerves.

Bob, how long ago did this occur? I can definitely tellyou
that keeping a body part on ice for four hours is not taught
anymore for burn treatment. Cold water until the burning
sensation subsides is all you need, don't use ice as it can
cause further tissue death.

Burn treatment has evolved quite a bit in the last few
years....

Not really... That is for arthritis but it'd do in a pinch.

I was starting the BBQ with a nice hot wood fire 3 weeks ago
and I had the grills on the front wood shelf with one side
right next to the fire.

When my coals were ready, like an idiot, I grabbed one of
the grills and turned it to insert it into the BBQ and
needless to say, burned the heck out of one of my fingers on
the hot side. :-(

Hurt really bad, so I went into the house and put some pure
emu oil on the burn (I keep it on hand) and within 5 minutes
the pain was gone, and it never even blistered. I forgot
about it until last week when small spot of dead skin peeled
off my finger.

The same thing happened once when I burned my hand on a 400
degree oven rack.

It takes the pain away and reduces the severity of a burn if
applied right away. Olive oil has a similar fatty acid
breakdown, but it's not nearly as effective as pure emu oil!

It also works on bee and wasp stings. Pain goes away
in minutes.

I get mine off of ebay. My 5 emus are pets so I'm not gonna
kill them for the oil. <grins>

You may be a bit late to get the full benefits of icing. It
works best when done immediately, as has been pointed out.
But, sooner or later, you'll need to use this technique.
